# End-User Guide — WorkshopManager
|
|
|
|
This guide is for players who want to **install and manage mods** for Data Center using the WorkshopManager desktop app.
|
|
|
|
## What you need
|
|
|
|
- **Data Center** installed via Steam.
|
|
- **Steam** running and logged in.
|
|
- **WorkshopManager** (`WorkshopUploader.exe`) — either built from source or provided as a release.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
You can run WorkshopManager from **any folder you prefer** (for example `Program Files`, Desktop, Downloads, or `<Data Center install>/WorkshopUploader/`).
|
|
|
|
### Option A — Installer setup (recommended)
|
|
|
|
1. Run the latest `GregToolsModmanager-<version>-Setup.exe`.
|
|
2. Complete the installer wizard (default path is under `Program Files`).
|
|
3. Start the app from the Start Menu or desktop shortcut.
|
|
|
|
### Option B — Portable / ZIP build
|
|
|
|
1. Download or build the WorkshopManager files.
|
|
2. Extract/copy the folder to any location you want.
|
|
3. Launch `WorkshopUploader.exe` directly from that folder.
|
|
|
|
After startup, the Steam status indicator in the top-right should turn green.
|
|
|
|
## Browsing mods (Mod Store)
|
|
|
|
1. Open the **Mod Store** tab.
|
|
2. Use the **Store** sub-tab to browse all available mods.
|
|
3. Filter by tag (vanilla, modded, melonloader, fmf, framework) or sort by popularity, date, score, etc.
|
|
4. Use the **Search** bar to find specific mods by name.
|
|
5. Click on any mod to see its **detail page** with full stats, description, and action buttons.
|
|
|
|
## Installing mods (Subscribe)
|
|
|
|
1. In the Store or on an item's detail page, click **Subscribe**.
|
|
2. Steam downloads the mod automatically.
|
|
3. Check the **Installed** sub-tab to see all your subscribed mods.
|
|
|
|
Subscribed mods are managed by Steam — they update automatically when the author publishes changes.
|
|
|
|
## Favorites
|
|
|
|
1. On an item's detail page, click **Favorite** to bookmark it.
|
|
2. View all your favorites in the **Favorites** sub-tab.
|
|
3. Click **Unfavorite** to remove.
|
|
|
|
## Voting
|
|
|
|
On an item's detail page:
|
|
|
|
- Click **Vote Up** to recommend the mod.
|
|
- Click **Vote Down** if there's a quality issue.
|
|
|
|
Your votes help the community find the best mods.
|
|
|
|
## Dependency Health (Health tab)
|
|
|
|
The **Health** sub-tab checks whether your game has:
|
|
|
|
- MelonLoader installed
|
|
- Il2Cpp interop assemblies generated
|
|
- FrikaModFramework core DLL
|
|
- FMF plugins directory
|
|
- Mod config directory
|
|
|
|
If anything is missing, follow the instructions shown.
|
|
|
|
### Installing MelonLoader
|
|
|
|
1. Go to the Health tab and click **Download page**.
|
|
2. Download the latest **MelonLoader Installer** from GitHub.
|
|
3. Run the installer, select **Data Center** as the game, choose **IL2CPP**.
|
|
4. Start the game once and close it (this generates required assemblies).
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
### "Steam - offline" in the title bar
|
|
|
|
- Make sure Steam is running and you are logged in.
|
|
- Ensure `steam_appid.txt` (containing `4170200`) exists next to `WorkshopUploader.exe`.
|
|
- If you use the portable/ZIP variant, make sure you copied the full app folder (not just the `.exe`).
|
|
|
|
### Mod does not load in-game
|
|
|
|
- Check `MelonLoader/Latest.log` in the game directory.
|
|
- Ensure `FrikaModdingFramework.dll` is in `<game>/Mods/`.
|
|
- Verify the mod DLL is also in `<game>/Mods/` or `<game>/FMF/Plugins/`.
|
|
|
|
### Subscription does not appear
|
|
|
|
- Wait a few seconds and refresh the Installed list.
|
|
- Steam may need a moment to process the subscription.
|
|
|
|
### App crashes only after installer install
|
|
|
|
- Reinstall using the latest setup build.
|
|
- Open **Settings -> Logs** and include the newest log lines when reporting the issue.
|
|
- If available, report crash details via GitHub Issues.
|
|
|
|
